Leading with purpose: a biblical guide to church leadership

Leadership within the church context is often defined as the process by which individuals are guided, influenced, and inspired to achieve a common goal that aligns with the principles and teachings of the Christian faith. Unlike secular leadership, which can sometimes prioritize personal ambition and corporate success, church leadership is rooted in servanthood, humility, and a deep commitment to follow the example set by Jesus Christ. A church leader not only oversees and directs the operations and ministries of the church but also shepherds the congregation, ensuring their spiritual growth and wellbeing. This involves teaching, mentoring, and exemplifying Christian virtues in everyday life.
